Good morning everyone! Anya here today and I am happy to share a card I created that features the “Sweet Baby Girl” collection. This collection is filled with cute images, like the adorable sheep I used on my card.

I surrounded the sheep with flower stickers from the Element Sticker Sheet, adding a brown decorative brad to one of them and lifting the others with pop dots for dimension. Tying a bow just added a little girly touch to this card.

Hello Echo Park Paper friends! Are you as excited about the new Baby collections as I am? The baby theme is one of my favorites to work with! Anya here today and I would like to share a card I made using the cutest “Sweet Baby Boy” collection.

I created a layered look on one of the 3x4 cards from the 3x4 Journaling Cards patterned paper, adding ephemera, chipboard, stickers and enamel shapes! To make all these layers pop up on a pretty plaid background, I used a piece of white cardstock between them and embossed it with a fun new Special Delivery Embossing Folder.

Hope you a have a little one, or know of one, or maybe still have some baby pictures left to scrap, or any other excuse you may find to play with this fun collection!

Hello there Echo Park fans - It's Tya here, and I am up on the blog today sharing with you a lovely little project featuring the beautiful Hello Sweetheart line by Carta Bella. This line is a great mix of puns, and florals and the color palette is amazing! This was such a fun line to work with. I made a trio of Tussie Mussies with this collection - perfect for giving that special someone a little treat.

To start - I cut three of these Heart shaped cones from this cut file Heart Cone - which I cut out with my Silhouette. I used the B sides of the 4x4 Journaling Card paper, and the 3x4 Journaling card paper and the Special Delivery paper. I also used a piece of Sweetheart Floral for the bands that wrap around the heart. Assemble and glue the hearts together with some strong adhesive to make the base of the cone. To decorate the front of the cones, I used another cut file from my Silhouette, this one is called a 3D Pleated Scallop Heart out of Ebony Black Felt Cardstock. I then decorated each heart with various stickers from the Sticker Sheet and I also fussy cut some flowers from the Sweetheart Floral paper. I cut a few leaves from the Summer Bloom Die Cut Set using some dark green cardstock and tucked a few leaves here and there. I added a 12 inch piece of black and white stripped grosgrain ribbon for a handle. The ends are hot glued into the sides of the cone. I added a few black and white Enamel Dots to add some dimension and shine to the project. Here are some up close photos of the hearts:

These little beauties were so fun to make! And you can add anything you want to give to the inside of the cone -I added some chocolate hearts in a little baggie, but you could do flowers, a nice note or even a small gift!

Tons of possibilities! Thank you for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to create a few of these for your own Sweethearts!

Good morning, everyone! Anya here today and I have a sweet trio of cards to share with you. I really loved all the icons in this collection, especially the ice cream and doughnuts, and used some of them to create cards for Valentine’s Day.

To create the main card I’m sharing today, I fussy cut the yummy doughnut and layered it on the card together with a white doily, fun phrase, sticker banner and some other decorative elements.

I’m sure this card will be able to sweeten anyone’s day. But the best part – it is sugar and calorie free!
